Description. of the Accompanying Drawing/.f

, FigureV l is a perspective view of a stove-.leg lor'f'oot, and 4that part of the stove to which it is attached, the samebeing shown in an invertedY position, for conveniencel of illustration. p

Figure 2 isa side View, also inverted. i i Figure 3 isa vieu/.similar` t the rst, but illustrating another modification of the improvement..`

` Figure 4 is a sdie'view` of the latter.`

Y I GeneralDescnijltionf. In 1 and -2 lo is the stove. b Ais tlie foot or leg.

A hooked-shaped lug, c, is cast upon the stoven..

' A drooping rim orifinish may or may not be formed dronndthebasfe of the stove, to cover from View and protect-from iujurythe `l'ugs c,.as indicated by dott-ed lines at d, tig. 2. 1 Y

In the upper part ortop' of the legis formed an opening, ot' Vsuit-able forin to ,receive the body of the *hooked lng c, and is east so as to prevent any undue play by aeomparatiyely close it.

The part'of the leg at c is properly rounded, so that,

y l'after being placed overthe hooked lug 0,'the leg may be thrown outwardfrom the position of fig. -2 to that tpose,) as shown in tig. 2, entering it upon the booked lug ,i is formed likewise upon the top of the leg j.

sition and slipped i-n upon the wristf, and the leg f "-*f `swung out to the position shown in fig. 3. i

:which may easily be done with a iile;-and if the TILLMA'N E. necesiten, oF Besitos, MASSAcHUSETTs ASSIGNOR Vcro HIMSELF, `ISAAcY. entiteiten', lAND STILLMANE. cnUBBUoK. JR., G OPARTNERS, on SAME A C/wwf" of lig., 1,`then just lling, or nearly so,ftl1e recess of the hooked lng at least, so as to bear -npou tbe hook part when the leg comesto .bear upon the `stove properly'.` y

1 lo 4connect this leg it is only necessary to placethe leg in the position, relatively to the stove, (the stove t being in its upright position, and Alifted `for the puri lug, and throwing it outward to the position shown in fini. 1.

'bln figs. 3 and4, the connecting parts are reversed in posit-ion. The pin, wrist, or journal Vpart of the top ofthe leg le, of figs. 1 and 2, is shown at j, figs'. 3 and .4, as an attached part of the stove, and thev hooked The principle of operation and application is much the saine in either case. The leg is, perhaps, applied to the stove a little more conveniently inthe latter case, as ithas only to be placed in the horizontalpo- The whole may be completed in the process of casting. The legs will, at most, require but slight fitting,

hooked lugis made to fill between wrist e and part g, lig. 2, or between wrist f and part h, as in fig. 4, the leg will, `,by the friction, retain itsposition, even if the stove is lifted, until it is removed; or, if it is not so? `closely fitted, the leg cannot get ont of positiontill the stove is lifted, (by accident or otherwise,)ainl then will lonlyvswing to a vertical position, where it will not even then let the stove fall. i

V @lai-m. I claim The construction ofstoves and their legsor feet, with the hooked lug c or t', and the wrist e or j, ar-

rangefljin combination, to operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth. v
